Once upon a time I lived in the cutest house in Provo, UT. It was called The White House. It’s no surprise that while living in this house I met the cutest and most fabulous friends a girl could ever have. Enter the White House Ladies. Katie, Rachel, Kristan, and I became fast friends as roommates in the White House. We haven’t been roommates for five years, but we are still dear friends. In fact, we’ve had a White House reunion every year since graduation! A tradition that I hope continues for many years to come.
This year, it was my pleasure to host the reunion in sunny Phoenix, Arizona. Our reunion was the perfect girl’s weekend. In honor of our weekend, here’s a list of the top five components needed in every girl’s weekend.
5. Pampering
Nothing can set the tone of a girl’s weekend like a trip to the nail salon. Good nails = Good times.
4. Sun
It was 40 degrees in Utah when the girl’s got on their plane to come down to AZ. It was 85 degrees when we went to the pool on Saturday afternoon. Nice!
3. Cactus
Okay, so maybe cacti aren’t necessary for every girl’s weekend, but it sure was a great addition to our reunion. I took the girls to the Desert Botanical Gardens and the Chihuly glass exhibit. Beautiful Arizona!

2. Food
You aren’t allowed to have a girl’s weekend without food, food, and more food! I had so much fun taking the girls around to some of my favorite PHX restaurants; including Postinos and Grimaldi’s. Delicious! We also topped things off with these babies:
Yum! I’m pretty sure you are supposed to gain at least a few pounds each girl’s weekend. We definitely did our best!

Oh that makes me miss not only my wonderful White House neighbors, but AZ as well! I can't help but notice that you are missing one important White House roommate... One with a broken ankle and a black eye perhaps?? Hah!
What a fun time! Its such nice weather to go do those sorts of things..a few more months and it would be TOO HOT. Those cupcakes look so yummy! I've always wanted to try "sprinkles" I saw them on oprah once. Maybe someday I'll splurge!
So fun Paige, I'm so glad you got to have a little reunion. I'll always be so grateful for The White House, I loved having you all for neighbors.
Love...
You, this post, the memories, and the shout-outs from Angela & Leah (hello gals!). Thanks for being a fabulous hostess!
Love.
All girl weekends should include cacti . . . don't doubt it!

Fun times! The White House WAS the best place in Provo!
